Fiber Optic: a glass or plastic fiber designed
to guide light along its length, used in fiber-optic communication, which permits
transmission over longer distances and at higher data rates than other forms of
wired and wireless communications. Fibers are used instead of metal wires because
signals propagate along them with less loss, and they are immune to electromagnetic
interference.
CAT5e / CAT6 / CAT7 Cable: twisted pair
cable type designed for high signal integrity, used in structured cabling for computer
networks such as Ethernet, and is also used to carry many other signals such as
basic voice services, token ring, and ATM.
Patch Panels: panels, typically rack mounted,
that house cable connections. The assembly of hardware is arranged so that a number
of circuits, usually of the same or similar type, appear on jacks for monitoring,
interconnecting, and testing circuits in a convenient, flexible manner.
Trays / Raceways: a unit or assembly of
units or sections and associated fittings forming a rigid structural system used
to securely fasten or support cable.
Electrical: power cable with
an assembly of two or more electrical conductors, usually held together with an
overall sheath. The assembly is used for transmission of electrical power. Power
cables may be installed as permanent wiring within buildings, buried in the ground,
run overhead, or exposed.
